El alca común (Alca torda) es una especie de ave caradriforme de la familia Alcidae. Es la única especie de su género. No suele ser tan numerosa como el arao común (Uria aalge), pero es habitual en las colonias de aves marinas en el noroeste de Europa, con frecuencia menos llamativo debido a su preferencia por huecos en lugar de repisas abiertas.
